HKHM 2025 Preparations Running Smoothly, Various Side Events Lined Up
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said his ministry has already convened two meetings each for the main organising committees of both National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations.
'Everything is on track. Planning and participation have been very positive. We're still receiving applications from various groups keen to take part in the parade.
'To enrich the experience, we're also organising numerous side events so that those attending won't only watch the parade, a showcase of assets, or performances, but can also enjoy various activities around Putrajaya.
'Families, children, and parents alike can look forward to a truly festive and enjoyable atmosphere,' he told reporters at the PENTARAMA Homecoming programme in conjunction with HKHM 2025 at SK Bangsar today.
Fahmi said that a range of events is also being planned for the National Day Eve celebrations in Putrajaya and across Kuala Lumpur.
'I don't want to reveal too much just yet, but rest assured, this year's celebrations will be grand, harmonious, and filled with joy,' he said, encouraging the public to visit the merdeka360.my portal for updates.
This year's National Day parade will take place in Putrajaya on Aug 31, while Malaysia Day will be celebrated on Sept 16 at PICCA@Arena Butterworth in Penang.
On another development, Fahmi invited the public to attend Malam Malaysia Bersama Gaza, a solidarity event for Palestine organised by the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisation (MAPIM).
